2024 brings a promising series of full moons that will light up the night sky. When will the full moon be in 2024?
Full Moon 2024: In 2024, you will have a chance to see 12 full moons, including two Super Moons, a Blue Moon and two lunar eclipses.
In the year 2024 there will be fewer full moons than in 2023. Since the lunar year - the 12 revolutions of the moon around the Earth, each lasting 29.5 days - lasts only 354 days, the often 13 full moons in one solar year. That's exactly what happened in 2023. But since the first full moon of the year doesn't rise until late January this year, it will the year 2024 had 12 full moons.
The moon always shows the same side - there is no uniform "dark side" of the moon. While the moon revolves around the earth, it the sun illuminates from different angles — what we see when we look at the moon is a reflection of sunlight.
On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, meaning it sometimes rises during the day and other times at night.

Due to the constant movement of the Moon, it is a full moon 100% illuminated only for a short time during the day and is only visible in some parts of the world. On the day of the full moon we usually see 98% illuminated Moon. The full moon is in the sky visible from sunset to sunrise.
moon eclipse can only happen during a full moon. Although they occur once a month, an additional full moon, known as Blue Moon, occurs in a fraction of a year (the third of four full moons in a season).
